9) Use the ‘browse’ button to browse to the location of your extracted android download form step 2

10) Select either the ‘flash.json or the flash-no-erase-all.json’ files
I selected ‘flash’ as I wanted to clear the device and remove windows, you can also select ‘flash-no-erase-all’ so that windowns wouldnt be touched

11) In the ‘configuration’ dropdown, I selected ‘recover’, you can also select ‘blank’ or ‘update’

12) Click ‘start to flash’
wait for the device to reboot a few times and then android will be installed

You might want to try some alternative operating systems on your chuwi hi10 pro
Blackarch on the chuwi hi10pro
root your chuwi hi10 pro
Ubuntu on the chuwi hi10 pro
kali on the chuwi hi10 pro
